Why is it people always want players out after a bad game or two? Was Janko poor? Yes. Is he young and can improve? Yes. We need to start giving these guys time and patience to develop, not berate them with every misplaced pass or tackle.

Janko is finished at CP. You can take that to the bank.
He was preposterous.
Not bad, bit had a poor game. He was suicide in a strip. How Rogers kept him in us a real worry. After 20 mibs he needed hooked.
We cannot wait for him as he us all the player he ever will be. A bad one.

Suicide in a strip! Brilliant MP! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 totally agree bud! I was absolutely stunned he was out for the 2nd half! Erik should have been on and lustig should have went to RB!

I've seen bigger and better players fall short on away European trips. Very harsh on a young lad. And we wonder why we don't see players come through the ranks.

I agree cmc. I think we could do with a right back, as I can't see Lustig going a season there, but certainly wouldn't go as far as Janko is finished at CP. He was suspect last night, but heat map showed he had very little infront of him from JF in what was supposed to be a 4-1-4-1 shape. Janko was also heavily involved, not just targeted by them, with that little cover, but going forward he had a lot of the ball. I think he looks much more at home as a wing back with 3 CBs on.

he also fell short at St Johnstone away and Be'er sheva at home. in fact I've never seen him play well. He's a shambles.
24 Aug 2016 13:16:33
I know JimTim, still think we could go another right back as lustigs legs don't take him up and down the park as quick anymore. I'm also not saying he's been great, just give him a chance to develop before condemning him to the scrapheap.

Last season they were clamoring for Janko because Lustig was having a torrid time and now it seems he is not the answer either.
Fisher was released, so he wasn't deemed good enough and we have another two chanty wrastlers in Ambrose and Boyata, who seem surplus, not to mention the mysterious 'scarlet pimpernell' Simunovic.
Add Gormless Gordon to the list and we have an entire defensive unit assembled by previous managers, who we will probably have to raffle or donate to get them the 'fudge away from Rodge'.

I've got hope for Jozo yet. Fully fit he'd either be in there alongside Kolo and Sviatchenko or first choice back-up on the bench. He looked pretty cool when he was playing and settled our defence a lot.

Agree with cmc, n JimTim, janko is only 22 so still young n there were many players who were awful last night or u wouldn't have known they were playing.
With Roberts in front of janko I think that's a much better fit as like nakamura he covers well n links up brilliant. Or in front of but I hope this isn't what we've come to writing off young players 4 1 bad game, bad games will always happen specially when your young n still learning the game but it's how you get better earning from your mistakes.
As to the starting lineup, not what I would have started with n even the subs at times I didn't agree with, but we got there.
Hail hail.
{Ed007's Note - Janko doesn't turn 21 until later this year.}

My apologies Ed n cheers 4 clarifying that, always enjoy reading your views n very reliable knowledge on all things football. makes it even worse how our own fans r ripping him a new 1.
Still very young n how can u get better at that level n football in general if u don't get time n a bit of patience, wish we would just get behind the team win lose or draw, players n manager, just think some always look 4 a scapegoat, someone 2 blame who isn't their favourite. Most were poor in general, 4 me janko gave away a free kick (never a penalty) and the 2nd was Gordon's error not janko,
Hail hail.

We need to move players on who are not good enough enough domestic scene let alone CL football. So Bailly, Janko, Ambrose, Commons, Armstrong, MacKay Stevens, MacGregor, Henderson and Ciftci. Get in another decent Striker, at least one creative Midfielder, a right back and especially a GK. We have got time to move out and people in. Poor game last night but I am one proud Celt today. Back at the level were we belong.
24 Aug 2016 22:03:06
Al make no apologies, a wanted janko off after half an hour for his own sake as well as the teams and the fans.
